He was back on the island visiting friends and family 2 months ago and hadn't had a gig since getting back .

Apparently its been a fad off and on for many years...I kinda think its sexy...maybe it depends on the guy

My favorite "fad" of the moment if you can call it that, is dance shoes -no socks!! A la Carlos of Zafire!!! (he of the awesome blue dance shoes with Zafire logo).

You're not really supposed to wear socks with loafers, especially in summertime and with light weight clothing or god forbid with shorts on. Or it's at least totally ok to go sockless.

I've done the dance shoes and no socks thing too

Secret: They're most likely wearing super low cut socks that you can't see. That's what I do to spare my feet and shoes.

Until the recent bachata thread, I hadn't heard the word boner used since seventh grade gym class.

Since you mentioned it...
There was a news account that the pre-party disturbed some 'fly-over country - back water hicks': the fireworks were set off late at 12:30 am and complaints came in via twitter.

Conclusion: I guess Minneapolis is no Rio de Janeiro or Paris or other bona fide party town. OMG, someone is having fun after 10pm .

The fireworks began much earlier, when Jeter hit that lead off double to right field.

This goal was AWESOME!

I really wish I can get out of this bed and run. Like to the beach. But the bed....so warm and fluffy....arggh.

Bucket hats should become a thing again. They're practical and not all of them are Gullivan - esque

i just built a peer outside my house, will hang a gate on it soon, time for a beer !

 

[hyh]

All performances have become equally bad (or good) ever since I stopped wearing contact lens to salsa events. It's all a blur now. Maybe that's why I don't dislike them as intensely as I used to.

Anyone know who this Vanessa is? She's great!

Vanessa Lacedonia, from Italy now based in NYC (I think), she used to be the partner with Maykel Fonts!!!

Every time I go to some small music store to buy some claves, it's always their last set of claves, and just to fake me out there's always a huge stack of those plastic flute/recorders?!?!?

Today just a few random thoughts about a salsa/mambo friend leaving. My good buddy and fellow SFer Groovy mambo is leaving Seattle for Cambridge in England, I am definitely going to miss him, I learnt a lot about "salsa" music and dance from him and I will miss our ongoing conversation about clave switches and Son montuno versus Cha Cha. Enjoy your time In England and spread the gospel according to Mambo U. I look forward to your updates on the scene in general across the pond.

On the plus side, maybe this will be the genesis of a new NY style on2 scene in Cambridge.
